The coverage on her seems to be really, really rose-tinted. At her core, she was a corrupt politician who robbed Pakistan and cut off free press and education, not to mention her former relationship with the Taliban. She didn't deserve to die though. I worry about Pakistan.
I don't see the point with the numbers on either side, since a fast growing religion isn't inherently better than a slow growing religion--Islam's numbers do mean it is a very large and growing part of society, and it means that it can't be dismissed as a monolithic religion, and even attempting...
An honest opinion and judgement! As a brother in Christ have you removed the log from your own eye the you are free to comment honestly on the speck in Islam>?
Uh, didn't I just say I am honest about the faults of my own religion? Didn't you just complain that I was "throwing stones" at...
Quite to the contrary minor statements such as It tops the bible in many ways or I will not mention the problems with Christianity of which there are many is exactly what casting stones is all about! I know this is not typical of Islam and will not mention it as a flaw of the faith but it is...
There is no benefit in throwing stones for any purpose. Muslims grow stronger through prayer and study of the Qu'ran don't they.
No one is "throwing stones" they are answering the question given in the OP. I'm sure they grow stronger through prayer and Qur'an, I know I do. It tops the Bible in...
:sarcastic
The thread is called "What do you think is wrong with Islam?" aka it's whole point is to talk about what is wrong with Islam. It was started by a Muslim, and it's more for their benefit than anything, because some of what is "wrong" is just blatantly made up or misunderstood. If I...
You Are 44% Open Minded
You aren't exactly open minded, but you have been known to occasionally change your mind.
You're tolerant enough to get along with others who are very different...
But you may be quietly judgmental of things or people you think are wrong.
You take your own values...
I love and agree with everything in the Qur'an, I find some hadith to be absolutely nasty and disagreeable.
" The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."...
Part of me will always be Baptist, but right now I'm kind of pan-monotheistic with emphasis on Abrahamic traditions, esp Baptist Christianity, Islam, sometimes Orthodox Christianity, Rastafari.
Freedom of Religion--freedom to go to w/e religion, or no religion at all. Religion is treated as a personal choice.
Freedom from Religion--??? Sounds whiny, like any exposure to religion constitutes an infringement on freedom. Yea, some religious people can be aggressive, but it's their...
The governments of the states did something wrong, if they want to apologize then good for them, though tbh, I don't think they are owed any sort of forgiveness. Have they apologized for Jim Crow, or will that take 150 years? Or what about doing something about the ongoing racism?
But...
Psst----Penguino
Fewer than 15% of Muslims are Arab and Iran is only about 3% Arab...Iraq is like 80% Arab. I think that's what neves is talking about.
It's not wrong to offend anyone, but naming a dog Muhammad isn't offending "violent religious fanatics", it's meant to offend Muslims. Some violent religious fanatics are Muslims, some Muslims are violent religious fanatics, but insulting Muslims in order to offend violent religious fanatics...
People are basically good no matter where you go, the fearmongering that surrounds undocumented workers is just stupid--you can support stricter immigration policies and I can respectfully disagree, but it's important to remember that they're still people just like anyone else. This guy risked...
From questions 13-16...
Companies have obligations other than profit, the poor have a right to health care, authority should be questioned and abortions should be legal and available. :p

Depends on the degree and how old the kids are. All of those except for nudity are pretty broad--I'd rather have my kids seeing an anvil falling on Wiley E. Coyote's head than a woman ******* a goat, you know what I mean? At the same time, I'd rather have my kids see people feeling up on each...
Not only do the majority of those lashings come from her attempts to appeal the case, the lawyer representing her was disbarred.
Saudi Arabia is supposed to be getting a Supreme Court system so hopefully judges such as this one will be in check. In the meantime, ouch.
What do you mean...
